Editor,

Gen. Mark Milley will be going on a book tour in the not so distant future. The idea behind a promotional book tour is, of course, to sell as many books as you can, which in turn makes you more money.

Thanks for another letter, Mr. Bacon, calling it like it is. Mr. Milley is a disgrace to the uniform and insults all who are in, and who have provided, service to our great country.

So Robert, would you prefer to have General Milley knock continuously on doors of soldiers lost in an needless war for years to come? The war in Afghanistan had to come to an end. I look at data, of troops lost, of soldiers and civilians withdrawn. And when the critics say, “Biden should have done the withdrawal better,” my response is, “compared to what?” It’s not enough to say the Afghanistan withdrawal was worse than the perfect fantasy withdrawal in your head. You need to point to a real world example of "better".

Once again... a post that misses the point.

Rel, are you still trying to sell coward-in-chief Biden’s treasonous cave-in to the Taliban as a plus? Any withdrawal that didn’t abandon Americans behind enemy lines and that didn’t provide aid and comfort to the enemy in the form of billions of dollars of military equipment would be better. We all, yes all, knew Biden would become a global embarrassment, maybe not this soon…

Rel: Thank goodness, we had someone with Gen. Milley’s foresight and courage to step in, before an idiot like Trump started WWIII!

Ike and Patton would start serious investigations into organized leaders and groups that want to overturn their government and beloved democracy.

HFAB

How would Ike and Patton initiate such an investigation?

Terence Y Oct 11, 2021 11:55am

Agreed, HFAB. Let's get some Ike and Patton followers to start with so-called Democrat leaders.
